Quicksilver Key by Walker Robert (6 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For surveyor Leo Bishop, a line on a map is a sacred truth. But in the feverish, grasping world of the California Gold Rush, the only truth that matters is the one you can buy-or bury.Hired to settle a routine boundary dispute on a sun-scorched rancho, Leo uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from the blood-red hills of the New Almaden quicksilver mine to the nation's highest court. A ruthless corporation, backed by a shadowy agent known only as Cain, is systematically erasing the past, willing to burn, bribe, and kill to secure the West's most valuable resource. Without quicksilver, the gold rush dies, and with a nation teetering on the brink of civil war, control of the mine means control of the future.Armed only with his instruments and an unshakeable belief in the integrity of the line, Leo is plunged into a labyrinth of forged documents, perjured testimonies, and brute force. His only allies are a proud Californio family fighting for their legacy, a battle-hardened Cornish miner trying to keep his crew alive, and a native woman who holds the key to a truth older than any map.As every fact he measures is systematically erased, Leo must decide what he is willing to sacrifice for a line on a map-and whether the price of justice is his own life.
